There Ih due the county In taxes and penalties from the tax -levy of lUld about $200,000, net. The tax sale will brintr In a considerable part of that sum. Many property owners, partli-u- Inrly those who have the larKe hold- InKH that eventually become real es¬ tate developments, do not ))ay the taxes until the property Is about U) l)e sold. They usually tlRure that it Is liettpr to pay 7 per cent in i)enalty than tn borrow numey from the liank.t at six per cent to cfirr.v on thcii- busi¬ ness. When the property is about to be sold for uiipaid taxes it is a differ¬ ent stor.v. becaus(> then the iienalties are increased to l.'> t>er cent stMni-an-. "nuttlly. This continues for three years, when it is a^atn increased to itO per cent for the last year and the real es¬ tate developers do not relish that much interest beinK i»aid out. Hence when tho j)roperty is about to lie srjia for un- jmld taxes they come in droves to pay the arrears, plus the 7 per cent so that they will not have to redeem the prop- ert.v during th»^ four years of the re¬ demption period.
During the tlmo that County Treas¬ urer Luyster hns been in office be has held six tax pales. This Is the sev¬ enth. He went luick as far as 1i)13 to collect arrears of taxes, which was as far Imck as the law would permit him to po, Krom these .sales he collected more than $1,000,000 in uniiaid taxes and penalties. This was the gross amount c<)llecte<l. Home of that had to be expended for tho expanses of the tax sales, but of the amount cj)lle<'ted an enorniouB sum was saved the coun ty. It was one of the real pieces of fftood bufllneas methrnls that has t'har- ncterlxed Mr. Luyster's administration of his offline, say those iiuallfled to si>eak,

"There were tho.se who were prepared to believe that Barbutti would enter a plea of guilty, because his former a.sso- dates had admitted their guilt, but this is not to be.
Barbuti stoutly declares his innocence. Regardless of what the others tta\e done, he Ik going to have his case heard before a Jury.

STRAUS ACQUIHED BY JURY VERDia OFASSAULTCHARGE
Denies He Trespassed On Mrs.
Maisch's Property To Pick
Lilac Blossoms
Rockville Centre, May 21.—Milton Straus of 171 Forest avenue wa.s fully vindicated when he was discharged by Police Justice Thorp last night, after a Jury of six men had returned a ver¬ dict of. not guilty. He was accused of assault, third degree, in that he was charge<l by Mrs. Hannah Mai.sch of 171 Forest avenue, of having struck her, go on before Justice Ctopsey on Wed
.son and i'iant in his testimony.
f>ickor.son has confes.sed he lied.
Plant has confessed to District At¬ torney Weeks, and no one knows what hc has told but the prosecutor.
Plant and Dickerson will be witnesses at the Baibuti trial.
Dicker.son, who having once confessed his guilt, has pleaded not guilty on his own indict'ment for perjury, but he is not expected to allow himself lo go to trial. To avoid this he must chapge his plea and throw himself on Ihe mercy of the court.
Just what defense former Justice Scudder can have for his client is hard¬ ly clear. Possli)ly he will conti'nd that when Baibuti supported Dickerson's testimony he actually believed he was with Dicker.son and Plant when hc said he was, and that if he erred he did it unwittingly and without intent of wrongdoing.
Harvey's Trial of Interest
Next in order of interest is the I rial of former Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey, of Queens County, who is indicted for bribery. This charge is an aftermath of the Plant trial, although the alleged act is said tp have taken |)luce at thi; same time that Plant was collecting graft from those who were dealing in stolen cars In Nassau County.
Harvey is alleged to have paved the way for the ."protection" of the crim¬ inals with Plant, whose duty it wa.s to apprehend them.
Harvey declares he Is innocent and is making elaborate plans for his trial an<l defense. His case will probably
to the Grand Jury each nt least once. They would hardly change that testi¬ mony now. If they testify in a trial they are open to attack from the de- fendnnt's counsel that they hope to get a lesser sentence for their aiil to the pro.secution; that the greater the aid the smaller the sentence.
It may not work out that way, but if miKbt seem to be logical.
On the other hand, if they are sen¬ tenced before th<' trial of the others itn- pli,cated. it would appear an astute move to avoid havin.u them attacked on the ground' thnt they hor)e to li.iiiflt l)> what lhey .say.

TESTMONUl DINNER GIVEN TO DR. WOODCOCK
Organist and Choirmaster Resigns After Thirty-six Years Service Bishop and Dean Praise His Work—Dr. Woodcock Tells Of Remarkable Voices He Has Been Privileged To Train
Garden City, May 21.—The diner giv¬ en by the Vestry Committee of the Cathedral of the Incarnation to Dr. William WoodtHJck Thursday evening, was attended by more than one hundred members of the congregation. It was a testimonial to the man who fbr thirty six years has served as organist and choirmaster of the Cathedral and who now at the age of 71 is retiring from the position with the love, respect and best Wishes of the entire congregation.
The gathering waa in the Casino. Wm. M. Baldwin was toastmaster and pianist.
..."^e entire choir was present and sang glees and led the community sing¬ ing, rt-^
The Messers William Holden, William Meiaaner, Abbott Hastings, Frank Gulden, J. H. Miller and John Bald¬ win waited on the table.
Bishop Burge*ts nnd Dean Treder made farewell remarks to Dr. Wood¬ cock in which they praised his long and faithful service and told of the high musical sjtandard he has established for the Cathedral.
Dr. Woodcock's parting address was intensely Interesting. He read the let¬ ter received by him in 1885 from Bish¬ op Llttlejcihn offering blm the iwsition as organist in the new cathedral at Garden City.
He told of directing the mu.slcal por¬ tion of this program at the laying of the cornerstone of St. Paul's School In 1879 when he was organist and. choir¬ master at St. Mary's Church, Brook¬ lyn.
Dr. Woo > the last time that the G. A. R. service will ever be held in the Church streot cemetery, as it will l)robably Ik- moved before ne.xt Memo¬ rial Day.
From the cemetery the I'ost will go to the Shell Road bridge and scatter flowers on the water in memory of the sailor dead.
They will then return to Post quar¬ ters for rest and refreshmenta. The Women's Relief Corps will accompany them In all their services, as well as the American Legion and Women'.-* Auxlliar.v.

STRAUS ACQUIHED BY JURY VERDia OFASSAULTCHARGE
Denies He Trespassed On Mrs.
Maisch's Property To Pick
Lilac Blossoms
Rockville Centre, May 21.—Milton Straus of 171 Forest avenue wa.s fully vindicated when he was discharged by Police Justice Thorp last night, after a Jury of six men had returned a ver¬ dict of. not guilty. He was accused of assault, third degree, in that he was chargeickor.son has confes.sed he lied.
Plant has confessed to District At¬ torney Weeks, and no one knows what hc has told but the prosecutor.
Plant and Dickerson will be witnesses at the Baibuti trial.
Dicker.son, who having once confessed his guilt, has pleaded not guilty on his own indict'ment for perjury, but he is not expected to allow himself lo go to trial. To avoid this he must chapge his plea and throw himself on Ihe mercy of the court.
Just what defense former Justice Scudder can have for his client is hard¬ ly clear. Possli)ly he will conti'nd that when Baibuti supported Dickerson's testimony he actually believed he was with Dicker.son and Plant when hc said he was, and that if he erred he did it unwittingly and without intent of wrongdoing.
Harvey's Trial of Interest
Next in order of interest is the I rial of former Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey, of Queens County, who is indicted for bribery. This charge is an aftermath of the Plant trial, although the alleged act is said tp have taken |)luce at thi; same time that Plant was collecting graft from those who were dealing in stolen cars In Nassau County.
Harvey is alleged to have paved the way for the ."protection" of the crim¬ inals with Plant, whose duty it wa.s to apprehend them.
Harvey declares he Is innocent and is making elaborate plans for his trial an what lhey .say.
